GOING:

Race 8 1500m

Track:      

Strong tempo assured from Jeunesse Himari and Rhein Rainbow leading the charge. HO O CAESAR (2) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 2 lengths away in second over 1500m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MONTE LEON (5) is yet to break through in 16 runs but wasn't far away last time when second over 1400m at this track on March 29. Masayoshi Aoyagi stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on four occasions. Fitter and ready to win. JEUNESSE HIMARI (1) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at this track over 1400m last time, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Has raced two times at this course and distance and is yet to be beaten. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MEISHO MEIBOKU (6) turned in a nice run last time to finish third over 1500m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out.
